President William Ruto’s Senior Advisor Makau Mutua has explained why efforts to impeach Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja are unlikely to succeed.
Taking to his socials on Wednesday, September 3, Mutua highlighted that the political situation at play makes such an attempt unrealistic and politically self-defeating for the ODM Party.
“If you understand politics, you should know it’s a head-scratcher to impeach Governor Sakaja. Given the matrix, such a gargantuan political blunder can’t happen, even in the citadel of the United States. It would be an own-goal by the ODM party in the midst of the silly season,” he stated.

The remark comes after ODM leader Raila Odinga met ODM-aligned MCAs at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation, where he persuaded them to suspend the impeachment motion.
At the same time, President Ruto convened a meeting at State House, Nairobi, with UDA MCAs and urged them to back down from the push.
On his side, Governor Sakaja pledged to enhance collaboration with MCAs and increase transparency in how development funds and bursaries are distributed.
